PK0-005 Practice Question: A project team is working on a software…
A project team is working on a software development project. The project manager wants to ensure that all changes to the codebase are reviewed and approved before they are integrated. Which type of tool should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse a collaboration tool (Option C) with the code review process, but collaboration tools lack the version control and merge-gating capabilities that a VCS provides for enforcing approval before integration.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Version control system
A version control system (VCS) like Git enforces code review workflows through pull requests or merge requests, ensuring that changes are reviewed and approved before integration into the main branch. This directly supports the project manager's requirement for a controlled integration process, as VCS tracks every change and requires explicit approval via branch protection rules or merge checks.
